"There's a new class of technologies poised to shake up the Server market - the Microserver, sometimes called the ARM Server. But the Microserver will do more than shake up the X86 server market. It is going to shake up the software market as well...
Marvell's ARMADA XP chipset is at the core of Dell's recently announced 'Copper' ARM server. "We've worked with Marvell for well over a year on our ARM-based server, and chose their ARMADA XP CPU based on the advantages it delivers...
Intel x86 processors have long dominated the computing market, but a not-so-new competitor will soon be giving Intel a run for its money in server space: ARM processors. "Traditional" computing devices like laptops, desktop computers, and servers...
ARM server chip upstart Applied Micro Circuits is bringing its eight-core X-Gene processor to market, and has launched a server aimed at developers with Taiwanese electronics and IT gear maker Mitac International for a microserver based on the impending X-Gene...
Tony Lees, managing director of Avantek Computer Limited, wants to sell you your first and then your next hundred ARM servers. "This is our current plan: to take over the world with ARM," Lees tells El Reg with a laugh. At the same time, however...
TSMC and GlobalFoundries, the global semiconductor foundries will be raising the bar of the processing power by 2014 as they are currently working on a 20nm chip for their next generation ARM based mobile processors. At present, 2.3 GHz achieved at 28nm is...
If you’re ready to tinker it’s possible to run Linux in one of the low cost ARM based set-top boxes or mini PCs currently available, although if you need Linux with 3D acceleration and video playback, your only realistic option is to go with solutions based...
Nvidia officials are looking to fuel the use of GPU accelerators in servers for HPC and supercomputing environments. Nvidia officials for five years have been promoting the use of their graphics technology to help speed up systems being used in high-performance...
The compute cluster is based on ARM-based Viridis systems from Boston Ltd. that are powered by Calxeda’s EnergyCore SoCs. The efforts by ARM Holdings and its partners to get their low-power chips into the data center is getting a boost with the Red Hat-sponsored...
Researchers at HP, chipmaker ARM, and Facebook have dreamt up a new breed of server processor specifically designed to provide quick and efficient access to information on the web’s most popular services. In a paper due to be published next month, the researchers...
Looking at historical trends and performance benchmarks, a team of researchers in Spain have concluded that smartphone chips could one day replace the more expensive and power-hungry x86 processors used in most of the world's top supercomputers. "History...
